interposed shutter members. My invention comprises a cap of the abovecharacter in which the inner member is provided with a depressed recessfor receiving both the shutter member and the outer member, the wall ofsaid recess being crimped over the edge of the outer member to hold themembers in their assembled relationship. N My invention furthercomprises a cap in which the Wall of the depressed recess in the innermember is stepped to provide a seat for the edge of the outer member,for permitting the movement of the shutter member bet-ween the saidouter member and the bottom of the recess, into its open and closedpositions. My invention still further comprises a cap of the abovecharac- 39 tee) in-which the shutter member is recipro-- ca le.Apractical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanyingdrawings, in which 4 Fig. 1 represents the shaker cap in top plan.

Fig. 2 represents a cross section taken in the plane of the line 11-11of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the'arrows.

i Fig. 3 represents a cross section taken in the plane of the lineIII-111 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 4 represents ahorizontal section taken in the plane of the lineIVIV of Fig. 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 5 represents a detail section showing .the stepped recess in theinner member before theouter member is seated therein.

, Fig. 6 represents a similar section after the outer member has beenseated.

Fig. 7 represents a similar section after the wall of the recesshas beencrimped over the edge of the seated outer member.

The perforated inner member of the shaker cap is denoted by 1 and it hasa flange 2 which is adapted to be attached to or from a part of asuitable container, not shown herein. This perforated inner member lisprovided with a depressed recess 3, provided with a peripheral wall 4,which wall is 00 stepped .to provide a seat 5 for receiving theperipheral edge of the outer perforated memer 6. This perforated outermember 6 and the depressed recess 3 may be of any desired peripheralcontour.

' The perforated shutter member 7 is located between the perforatedouter member 6 and the bottom of the. recess 3, which shutter member, inthe present instance, is shown as to the exterior of the cap throughoppositely disposed finger extensions 8, 9, projecting to the exteriorof the cap through oppositely disposed slots 10 and 11' leading from thedepressed recess 3 in the inner member, through the side wall 4, thesides of which slots orm guides for the said finger extensions of theshutter member.

After the shutter member and outer member have been placed in positionwithin the depressed recess 3, the wall 4 of the recess is crimped overthe edge of the outer member to hold the members permanently in theirassembled relationship.

The structure herein described is a very simple and inexpensive one andpermits the cap to be made in various shapes and sizes, withoutinterfering with the proper assembly ofthe several members.

It is evident that various changes may be resorted to in the form,construction and arfixed perforated inner and outer members and aninterposed movable perforated shutter member, and means located withinthe 109 periphery of the inner member for holding the members in theirassembled relationship.

2. A shaker cap comprising relatively fixed perforated inner and outermembers and an interposed reciprocable perforated shutter member, andmeans located within the periphe of the inner member for holdirlilg themem ers in their assembled relation- 3 A shaker cap comprisingrelatively fixed perforated inner and outer members and an interposedmovable perforated shutter member, said inner member having a depressedrecess for receiving the outer and shutter members, the wall of therecess being crimped over the edge of the outer member to hold themembers in their assembled relationship.

4. A shaker cap comprising relatively g fixed perforated inner and outermembers and an interposed reciprocable perforated shutter member, saidinner member having a depressed recess for receiving the outer andshutter members, the Wall of the recess being as crimped over the edgeof the outer member to hold the members in their assembled relationship.

5. A shaker cap comprising relatively fixed perforated inner and outermembers so and an interposed movable perforated shutter member, saidinner member having a recess for receiving the outer and shuttermembers, the wall of said recess being stepped to form a seat for theedge of the u outer member, said wall also being crimped over the edgeof the outer member to hold the members in their assembled relationshi6. A shaker cap comprising relative y' fixed perforated inner and outermembers 40 and an interposed reciprocable perforated shutter member,said inner member having a recess for receiving the outer and shuttermembers, the Wall of said recess being stepped to form a seat for theedge of the outer member, said wall also being crimped over the edge ofthe outer member to hold the members in their assembled relationshi 7. Ashaker cap comprising relative y fixed perforated inner and outermembers and an interposed reciprocable perforated shutter member havingoppositely disposedv finger extensions, said inner member having arecess for receiving the outer and shutter members, the Wall of therecess being crimped over the edge of the outer member to hold themembers in their assembled rela tionship, said inner member havingoppositely disposed slots leading from said recess through said wall,the sides of which slots 00 form guides for the finger extensions of theshutter member.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as m invention, I have signedmy name this 14th day of February, 1929.
